Chemical Analysis Helps Industrial Clients Solve Material Challenges

Along with testing for the mechanical properties of materials, the Miami Valley Materials Testing Center (MVMTC) of Tipp City, Ohio, offers industrial clients extensive experience and expertise in chemical analysis.

The testing laboratory’s experienced chemists use the most advanced equipment available, including an optical emission spectrometer, which facilitates chemical analysis of many metals and alloys including plain carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, cast iron, zinc alloys, tool steels, nickel alloys, titanium alloys and copper alloys.

MVMTC has the capability of handling material testing for nearly every industry. Our chemists, engineers and technicians offer our clients a wealth of more than 25 years of experience in real-world manufacturing operations, process engineering and quality assurance to deliver on-time, valuable analysis and consultation that translates into cost savings and quality products.

We can serve as a single source testing facility with capabilities of testing plastics, metals and many other industrial materials. We partner with our clients to enhance their quality control and quality assurance programs at every stage, from research and development, through production, to failure analysis. In addition to chemical analysis we offer non-destructive testing, corrosion testing, microhardness and macrohardness testing, stress analysis and tensile testing.

Through a combination of chemical analysis and engineering consultation, MVMTC can assure that manufacturers use the most appropriate and functional, durable materials for each and every application. We provide our manufacturing clients timely, accurate analysis and consultation to stay on production schedules while meeting quality standards.

Our testing laboratory uses chemical analysis techniques to check raw materials received by our clients for impurities and contaminants. We make certain that the materials match our clients’ orders and that they have the properties necessary for our clients’ specific manufacturing applications. In addition, we can advise clients on the best materials for new product development.

With our extensive experience in chemical analysis and engineering analysis we can determine the most accurate testing procedure for a given sample.

We offer clients the advantage of “one-stop shopping,” or single-source testing, as we have the capabilities for providing chemical analysis and mechanical property analysis of materials—saving our clients valuable time and expense.

Our clients depend on us as problem solvers. Through chemical analysis we help clients get to the root of product failures. Foreign materials, such as Chinese, Indian or Eastern European, pose additional concerns in that all materials are not created equally. This means that a product design centered on a U.S. material may not be able to meet design requirements when a foreign material is substituted. We partner with our clients and carefully listen to them to understand and define the requirements of each product so that we can offer practical, effective solutions to their material needs and challenges.
